Tasty Tuesday: Slow Cooker Cheesy Ranch Potatoes

Sunday my husband woke up and decided he wanted to cook on his smoker. Yay! I love when he does that! So, the bulk of dinner was being done by him, I only had to come up with some sides. I decided I would make some slow cooker cheesy ranch potatoes because I could get it set up and then let it cook without heating up the house. Funny thing is I realized this would be amazing with eggs on a tortilla for breakfast, or even just as they are for a meal. I don't know if it is because it is summer or what, but I have been feeling the desire to go easy on the meat and eat more veggies and fruits.

Ingredients
6 to 8 Russet potatoes Peeled and chunked
4 TBS vegetable oil
1 packet of Ranch seasoning
